If they are reporting as 2360w each that is 7080w total, there should be enough power for 12 blades, however it probably will not be full 3 active, 3 redundant solution, it will probably need 4 active and 2 spares.
The current input power (outlet) is 7200 W ( 240V x 30A). So, if I need 4 active power supplies, that would potentially exceed that ( 4 x 2360 = 9440 W ), isn't it ? I would need to run another power line.
However, do I really need to change the configuration to 4 + 2: according to DRAC, each blades uses about 400 W. Is it too risky to add another ~1600 W on the ~3200 W I am using now ( 12 x 400 = 4800 << 7080 ) ?

If they are only using 400w each, you have enough overhead for staying with a 3X3.
